He taunted the Centre, stating that India has not been able to take back PoK for the past 70 years.

“Yes, I say it (PoK) belongs to them (Pakistan). Are they (Pakistan) wearing bangles? They also have atom bombs! Do you want us to be killed by them? You are sitting in palaces, think about the poor people living in border areas, who are bombed daily,” he told a gathering.

This statement was made a day after a complaint was filed against the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister under charges of sedition.

Last week, he had first made the comment while speaking about the government-appointed interlocutor Dineshwar Sharma's conversations with all parties in Jammu and Kashmir.

"He (Sharma) has held talks but talks alone is not the solution. This issue is between India & Pakistan. Indian govt must also hold talks with Pakistan govt because a part of Kashmir is also with them," Abdullah said.

This is not the first time Abdullah has made such a controversial statement. Hours after the Centre appointed had Sharma to hold talks with all stakeholders to resolve the Kashmir issue, Abdullah had suggested that the interlocutor should hold talks with Pakistan as well.
